Boiled arrow root

What a nice breakfast item

yummy

Osechi will look even prettier with these, so I make them every year without fail. I use sushi vinegar because it has salt, sugar, and konbu dashi broth added, so it makes pickling simple.It takes time to cut out the flowers, but do your best. Don't get discouraged even if you don't succeed! It is easy to use a peeler for the finer parts. For 1 medium. Recipe by Kona kotobuki

Kinda like potato but it has a very good distinct taste

I like vinegar, but I'm not a fan of food that so vinegary that your lips pucker when you put it in your mouth. So I came up with my own recipe for mildly vinegary pickled lotus root. I managed to make very nice pickles without having to dirty two pots, so I'm going to stick to making it this way.Be sure to leave the lotus roots sit overnight before consuming. Recipe by Run

This is a go-to recipe in the fall and winter when I receive plenty of taro roots. I made this when I was getting tired of dashi and sweet and sour flavors. You can make this and set it aside for later, making this work for a bento lunch box item as well.The key to the flavor is the Japanese sake and the mirin. For the Japanese sake, you can use the carton type, but please be sure to use authentic mirin. If you use mirin-style flavoring or cooking sake, they have salt, and with this amount the whole thing will become salty. If you don't have options, then reduce the soy sauce to 1 teaspoon.

I wanted to eat a different kind of lotus root dish, so I created this.This is a variation on the "Gingered Turnips"that everybody likes.Make this dish with lots of love. Recipe by Omamesan

This is very pretty so I make it every year. Use as a side dish for a contrasting texture and flavor.This surprises people since the flavors of each kind of lotus root are so different. At the same time it helps the digestion. Give it a try. Recipe by moriam

Wrap crushed licorice root sticks in a piece of gauze, soak them overnight and enjoy a refreshing drink.

Can be good snack, topping for salad or soup croutons. Alternative for bacon bites.

I'm posting this recipe for my own records. One day, I'll pass it down to my children. It's our family recipe.To make a cute flower shapes, it's best not to use large lotus roots. Recipe by kebeibiko

Don't de-seed jalapenos for extra spice

Very easy to make

This is a Southern traditional drink that my great-grandmother made every Christmas. It is rich, fat-laden, milkshake-thick, and totally delicious!This recipe can be halved, and fat-free evaporated milk can be substituted.

Boiled peanuts can be found almost any convenience store or fruit stand here in Florida. Usually they have cooked for a couple of days in a 30 gallon pot on a open fire with wood. Or cooked in crockpots in convenience stores.

My mother often made this.If you've sliced your lotus root a bit thickly, then it's okay to boil them for slightly longer.If you've sliced them thinly, be sure to put them in the drainer quickly.The key is to get them from the drainer to the vinegar mixture as soon as possible.
